NOVATO, CA — Late-night commuters should plan for a small hitch this week as PG&E continues repair work along a landslide area near Novato.
As part of that work, Caltrans crews will close the right southbound bound lane of Highway 101 near Redwood Boulevard, starting at 8 p.m. Thursday. The work is scheduled to wrap by 4 a.m. Friday.
